diy indian inspired necklace

I am not a big trend follower. I tend to march to the beat of my own drums when it comes to fashion. Is that how the saying goes? Anywhoo, Some trends I will never understand are...Crocs, No thank you...or Ugg boots with skirts, NO...or full on MC Hammer jump suits...again just NO. What I do love is leather, feathers and Indian inspired clothing and accessories, so when this trend became popular I was beyond excited and hopped right on the bandwagon.

What you need:

• Colored polymer clay blocks. As many as you like.
• Razor blade
• Cord. I used the leftover leather lace cord from the first bead project.
• Toothpick
• Magnetic closure

Roll the clay into a skinny tube.

Using the razor blade, slice different sized beads.

Poke a hole in each bead.

When you have finished doing this with all the colors, place your beads on a baking tray and bake at 275 degrees for 15 minutes.

Let your beads cool (snack time)

Attach metal closure on end. Thread your beads through with whatever pattern you like.

And there you go! Not sure if it turned out as "Indian" as I imagined...but oh well!
